First you can try the rpm package:

su
(give the root password)
rpm -i <the-package-you-downloaded.rpm>

Or with the tar package:

tar xzvf <the-package-you-downloaded.tar.gz>
cd <pygame-x.x.x(the name of the created directory)
../configure
make
su
(give the root password)
make install

HTH.

There seems to be some problem. For the tar version, initial steps
execute OK, but after typing:
[root@localhost pygame-1.7.1release]# ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

So i don't hav a configure file? What should i do now?

Sorry, instead of ./configure do this:

python setup.py install

It's a python package after all :)

But first I would recommend reading http://pygame.org/install.html
